Reminder that The 7th Guest VR comes out in 2 days, on the 19th

The 10 year anniversary of the channel was marked by a stream of a full motion video game with quite possibly the horniest main character ever. And it's not a fun kind of horny, it's an angry kind of horny. Well, let's enjoy(?) this '90s sexual psychodrama full of '90s ideas about sex and power.

some NSFW dialog and text, but I think all the actual nudity was censored here, at least in the Youtube video

The soundtracks of "The 13th doll" are awesome ! I present to you my 20 favorite musics from this game Thank you to Christ Bormend & Vulture Krane for their great work !

I figured we haven't had enough posts about The 13th Doll, and this game has a really great soundtrack!

In my latest podcast, I interview Rob Landeros co-founder of Trilobyte Games and co-founder of Aftermath Media David Wheeler. Between them, they have been involved with such classic titles as The 7th Guest, The 11th Hour, Tender Loving Care and more.

We discuss their involvement with these titles, with new insights into their development and whether there is a possible continuation of the 7th Guest series.

This is a compilation of the paintings in "The 7th guest" and "The 11th hour". Can you help me to find more ?

Thanks to darkshoxx, die4ever2005, quickbrownfox42 and genebertram3833 for their help ! They found some of these paintings !

a new trailer, listen to that remix of Ghost of Bo!

Another little taste from Soup's On, our album of reimagined music from The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour.

Fun fact: This tune was originally supposed to be the main theme from The 11th Hour before it was scrapped in favor of "The Final Hour." By complete accident it ended up in the final game anyway, despite being an unfinished demo at the time, as the music that plays during the "train puzzle" in the attic — hence its name.

A little taste of what's to come in our reimagining of The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour's soundtracks.

My band Error 47 had the good fortune to sit down with these two legends last week and chat for an hour about the music of these two games.

We did invite Rob Landeros to take part as well, and he was more than happy to catch up with Graeme and George (all that nastiness about the end of Trilobyte is water under the bridge these days), but he declined because, believe it or not, the man is incredibly camera shy.

Lots of great nuggets in this interview about how T7G took a huge chance in supporting General MIDI, how it all came together, and how we might not have had Nine Inch Nails' Quake soundtrack if it hadn't been for Graeme...

This week's dev update comes directly from the mind behind our eerie and atmospheric audio director, Jonathan van den Wijngaarden, and a special note & video from The Fat Man - original composer of iconic 90s The 7th Guest PC Classic.

'Working on the 7th Guest VR has been an exciting experience. When the team at Vertigo approached me first, I felt both excited and slightly intimidated! The original game is such a legendary title and still holds a very dedicated fanbase even today. From the very first moment I’ve felt doing right to both the iconic work done by George (Sanger) and to the fans would be my very first goal.

It quickly became clear that we’d be retelling the original story while adapting it for modern audiences and not in the least; the new platform. Music and sound should also follow this direction, and to me it felt doing a literal remake of the soundtrack would not do justice to this approach (also; it didn’t feel right to ‘redo’ the work done by George for the original). Instead I wanted to capture the essence and feel of the original music and make this the center of this new score.

That said, George’s work obviously was a huge source of inspiration and many of the original themes and motifs return. I made a selection of the original themes that to me felt most memorable and used those as a starting point for writing the new material. All music is adaptive in nature, which allows us to transition to a different variation once you solve a room.

The original had a very interesting blend of styles and instruments and I really wanted to bring this back in order to establish a unique sound. We have an incredible group of musicians lending their talents to this score; Lara Ausensi on vocals, Frank Klepacki on drums, Hannes Frischat on cello, Nathan Madsen on saxophone and even The Fatman himself on guitar and vocals! '

And now, a special word from The Fat Man.

https://youtu.be/nXtTcFevU0o

George, what can you tell us, as the original composer of The 7th Guest, what was your reaction when you heard that Vertigo Games was planning a VR remake of this iconic game?

'"About time!" It's a perfect fit. The original game introduced a million or two players to the world of content-rich games, of CD-ROM's, of General MIDI music, of digitally recorded sound and music and some cutting edge FMV. The game's atmosphere of exploration, immersion, and puzzle solving was just right for introducing new technology, and I can see it onboarding a lot of folks into VR in the same fun, cool, SCARY way.'

Back to you Jonathan!

'Thanks George! We also made sure the house feels alive in terms of sound design and weird noises. There are quite some chilling ambiances throughout that are very surreal in nature at times. Everything works towards something that has the player on edge, not knowing what to expect next - to me this is what made the original game so impactful. Last but not least, seeing the volumetric video come to life with music, sound design and voices was a very cool experience. A lot of effort went into making this all work, hats off to the tech team for solving that puzzle!'

Some notable things are the unused bad ending, the children's version of the nursery rhyme

also fun fact, they say that "I can hear you're quite tone deaf!" is unused in the music room, but you can get it if you walk away from the piano and then try it again.

This game was cancelled a long time ago, but I think the move to the museum instead of the Stauf Mansion would've been really interesting, especially since we've been to the mansion 3 times now if you count The 13th Doll, and a 4th time if you count the upcoming VR game

It's really rare to see anyone playing this game so this is pretty cool! On their YouTube they have videos of the other games too. Their Twitch stream is here https://twitch.tv/doctor_ants
